Our objective is to raise awareness of the importance of adopting life principles based on non-violence and respect for Mother Earth. In other words, "simple living with elevated thinking". 

In addition, the Eco-Truly village is a tourist attraction that offers various services to all people visiting, and whose aim is to give and demonstrate an alternative of a life in harmony with mother nature. The “fincas” or eco-villages are part of the desertic area in the north of Chile, the objective is to maintain the PURITY of the land, building a community that is completely sustainable.

You will be part of a Developmental, Ecological and Spiritual Project in a natural and indigenous environment. 

Besides promoting a conscious lifestyle and supporting local communities your service will give you the opportunity to learn and grow in the area of service you will choose.

As explained earlier the volunteer will do 6 hours of service, at a cost of $ 8.00 daily or $ 210 p/month (sleeping in a shared room) or of $ 10.00 daily and $280 (resting in a truly, ecolgical and energetic room).

The cost includes:
• 3 lacto-vegetarian meals daily
• houseing in shared rooms and seperated by gender or in a truly
• possibility to camp
• daily classes on vedic philosophy, meditation mantras, hindu music
• yoga classes and natural therapeutics (when available)
• opportunities to partake in artistic classes and projects.


To maintain a pure land and community and to reduce harm to the environment an ecological consciouness is indispensable for everyone.

To change the world we must change ourselves and our habits, so we ask exclusivly for the use of natural products, biodegradables (vegetarian and tested-free animal products), the moderate consumption of the natural resources, avoid plastic material and contaminants, etc.

The Eco-villages are Yoga Monasteries, sacred places where we follow the Indian Vedic philosophy. So as to maintain the utmost peace, harmony, and balance its neccessary to respect a few principles:

· The food is strictly lacto-vegetarian, it’s not possible to enter with edibles that contain any meet, fish, eggs or other animal derivatives.
·The use of alcohol, tabacco, drugs, hallucinogenics, etc is not permitted.
·No gambling.
 

 

 

     
One of the activities that the volunteers are able to help develop in the Eco-Village is Organic Agriculture.
An enriching natural experience that would put you in contact with Mother Nature and allow you to learn organic farming techniques like composting, natural fertilizer and pesticide recipes, seed recuperation, irrigation, soil preparation, etc. Contribute to an agricultural model that is natural and unharmful to the ecosystem and produces healthy vegetables that not only would be your food but your medicine.

The kitchen is an indispensable place, that is to say, a place where colors come to life, flavours and aromas fuse together and give one of the greatest enjoyments of being a human.

More importantly, the ingredients used reflect the state of consciousness of kindness and sincerity.

The Eco-Village is a place full of art, from the children's park of rustic (natural) games to the beautiful adobe trulys (bricks, straw and sticks) decorated with recycled glass, paintings, and lanterns.
